Pilot’s Flight Operating Instructions for Army Model B-29

Detailed B-29 manual with many illustrations and images. August 20, 1943.

“This Handbook contains the basic information re¬
quired for correct operation of the Model B-29 airplane. It should be kept in mind by the operating
 personnel that this airplane is a relatively new development and contains many intricate mechanisms
 which are required for the accomplishment of missions for which it was designed.

It is realized that local conditions may in many 
respects determine the appropriate technique re
quired, but care must be taken that the choice of 
technique does not violate basic rules for operation 
of this airplane.

This Handbook contains only the information pertinent to operation of the Model B-29 and does not
 cover the fundamentals of flying.”
